“Blended from six different vineyards all vinified separately. This spends 38 months ageing before release. Nice balance of fruit and aromatic complexity. There is tar and liquorice appearing with some notes of rose petal and dried flowers. Impressive wine without doubt offering depth, concentration and admirable balance.”
“Luscious cherry on the nose with undulating nuances of earth, leather and rose petal. In the mouth, an austere freshness is complimented by fennel and liquorice with abundant cherry. It finishes with depth and balance.”
